gaslightguy: Reminds me of my multi-purpose camping tool. Start with an Estwing geology pick. Sharpen the handle on the pick side for splitting firewood (on the hammer side if you miss hammering a tent stake, you will have two tent stakes). Make a detachable entrenching shovel blade to fit over the pick. Loosten the ground with the pick and scoop it out with the shovel. Pick, shovel, hammer, wedge all in one pound.
I had a beautiful Stanley hammer, perfectly balanced and fit my hand just right. It was hanging on the pegboard in the garage and it disappeared when we had several contractors working here. I am sure one of the workers “thought” it was his. Waaaah! I haven’t found another one like it.

The mouth does make a dandy, good third hand.

My hand held device was made by Smith & Wesson.

Hand held devices? Sorry, don’t want to get banned.

I still use my Personal Analog Device(PAD). It works with either pen or pencil.

Those galvanized ones taste TERRIBLE, and I’m sure they’re not good for you, either.

Had an old Estwing hammer years ago. I affixed a Skil quick-lock cord to the base of the handle. Great just to leave laying around the job site.
